Herbs and Medicinal Plants Training: Basic
About this Class
For thousands of years, women and men have been familiar with the medicinal and edible herbs in their surroundings. This knowledge ensured their survival and helped them regain their health. Their knowledge, however, went beyond simply recognizing herbs—they knew how to prepare them, understood the energies of herbs, and could communicate with plant devas. This holistic perspective made “miracles” possible, helping people remain or become healthy in spirit, body, and mind.
The wilderness school Wir-Kinder der Erde seeks to convey in this training this inner attitude: that everything is interconnected, pulsing with life in the web of life, and that people are the guardians of the Earth. It is this holistic perspective that touches the heart and lets the soul sing its song
In the herbal training, you will study the basics of botany, cook with wild herbs, create your own personal herbal healing guide, and learn about the language of plants and trees. In addition to herbal medicine and edible herbs, we will guide you in living mindfully with and in nature, while expanding your perception and your knowledge of Earth spirituality and the plant mythology of different cultures.

Reviews
WildNet.Earth Review Policy
Each rating result ranges from 1 to 10. The overall rating for a class is calculated by adding up all the ratings submitted and dividing them by the number of ratings. We use a weighted system: more recent ratings have a greater influence on the overall result.
Participants can also submit sub-ratings for important class areas – such as organizer communication, class management, content & learning progress, procedure & implementation, venue, catering, and accommodation. Sub-ratings and overall ratings are assigned independently of each other and are not necessarily directly related.
Participants can submit a review if they have taken part in a class via WildNet.Earth – even if they have not completed the class in full. In addition, participants can verify themselves and also write reviews even if they have not booked via WildNet.Earth. Changes to reviews that have already been submitted can only be made via WildNet customer service.
To prevent bias, WildNet.Earth uses processes that identify fake or unreliable reviews. Such content will be deleted and measures may be taken against those responsible. Suspicious posts can be reported to customer service by anyone at any time.
We publish both positive and negative reviews, unless they contain or refer to:
- Politically sensitive content
- Advertising
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive data (e.g., phone numbers, email addresses)
- Insults, obscene language, sexualized content, hate speech, discrimination, threats, or violence
- Spam or obviously fake content
- Identity theft
- Any violation of our rating guidelines
Guidelines and standards for reviews
These guidelines ensure that reviews on WildNet.Earth remain relevant, fair, and respectful—without restricting freedom of expression.
Contributions should have a clear connection to the class or experience and help other participants make an informed decision. Personal attacks, religious or political statements, advertising, or support requests (to the organizer or WildNet.Earth) do not belong in reviews and will be removed.
Posts must be suitable for a global audience. Obscenities (even in creative writing) and content that contains hate, discrimination, violence, sexual depictions, or illegal activities are not permitted.
All content must be authentic, independent, and unbiased. Organizers and their partners may not create reviews on behalf of their participants or offer incentives for reviews. Attempts at manipulation (e.g., negative reviews against other organizers) will not be tolerated.
Personal data of third parties may not be published. Copyrights must be observed—published content, especially images, may only be used if the corresponding rights have been obtained.
The opinions expressed are solely those of participants and class providers. WildNet.Earth accepts no liability for reviews or responses. WildNet.Earth acts as a distributor, not as a publisher of content.
Reviews are sorted according to recency and other relevance criteria (e.g., language, reviews with text, etc.). Additional sorting options may be available.

About the Organizer
Wir - Kinder der Erde
The wilderness school "We - Children of the Earth" offers training in wilderness education, wilderness skills, nature education, ceremonies, and animal-assisted experiential education. At the same time, the wilderness mentors guide people through vision quests and life counseling toward a deep connection with nature and along their personal path of growth toward inner peace. Dr. Barbara Deubzer learned the Art of Mentoring, Story Telling, and a mindful approach to nature directly from Tom Brown Jr. and Jon Young. Tom Brown Jr. initiated Barbara into the path of the sacred Native American pipe in 2000, and other teachers on the spiritual path were Jim Medicine Tree, Gayle Crozmas, and Leihou Rayder from Hawaii. The wilderness school We-Children of the Earth aims to strengthen people's connection with nature in their hearts and develop self-awareness. For modern lifestyles have often caused people to lose touch with themselves and nature. We believe that everyone carries within themselves the knowledge needed to make life-supporting decisions, but that access to it is “blocked.” Alongside courses and children's camps, the school therefore offers training to become a wilderness educator and year-long guidance that includes a vision quest. Courses for young and old teach basic skills for living (and surviving) in harmony with nature, while developing awareness of one's surroundings, oneself, and the spiritual. A holistic approach is always at the heart of the training. Individuals, kindergartens, schools, multipliers, and companies are warmly welcome and will surely find a suitable course.
Die Wildnisschule "Wir - Kinder der Erde" bietet Ausbildungen in den Bereichen Wildnispädagogik, Wildniswissen, Naturpädagogik, Zeremonien und tiergestützte Erlebnispädagogik an. Gleichzeitig begleiten die Wildnismentoren durch Visionssuchen und Lebensberatung Menschen zu einer tiefen Naturverbindung und auf ihrem persönlichen Wachstumsweg zum inneren Frieden. Dr. Barbara Deubzer lernte direkt von Tom Brown jr. und Jon Young das Art of Mentoring, Story Telling und den achtsamen Zugang zur Natur. Tom Brown jr. initiierte Barbara in den Weg der heiligen indianischen Pfeife 2000 und weitere Lehrer auf den spirituellen Weg waren Jim Medicine Tree, Gayle Crozmas, Leihou Rayder aus Hawaii. Die Wildnisschule Wir-Kinder der Erde möchte die Naturverbindung in den Herzen der Menschen stärken und die Selbstwahrnehmung schulen. Denn oft ist durch die moderne Lebensweise der Kontakt zu sich und zur Natur verschwunden. Wir gehen davon aus, dass jeder Mensch das Wissen von lebensunterstützenden Entscheidungen in sich trägt, jedoch die Zugänge dahin "blockiert" sind. So bietet die Schule neben Kursen und Kinderfreizeiten auch eine Fortbildung zur Wildnispädagogen und eine Jahresbegleitung mit Visionssuche an. In den Kursen für Jung und Alt werden die Grundfertigkeiten zum (über-) Leben in Harmonie mit der Natur vermittelt, die Wahrnehmung für die Umgebung, für sich und für das Spirituelle geschult. Ein ganzheitliche Ausbildung liegt immer im Fokus. Einzelpersonen, Kindergärten, Schulen, Multiplikatoren und Firmen sind vom Herzen willkommen und finden sicherlich den passenden Kurs.
